- Chemoselective Reduction of Tertiary Amides by 1,3-Diphenyl disiloxane (DPDS)
-
A convenient procedure for the chemoselective reduction of tertiary amides at room temperature in the presence of air and moisture using 1,3-diphenyldisiloxane (DPDS) is developed. The reaction conditions tolerate a significant number of functional groups including esters, nitriles, secondary amides, carbamates, sulfoxides, sulfones, sulfonyl fluorides, halogens, aryl-nitro groups, and arylamines. The conditions reported are the mildest to date and utilize EtOAc, a preferred solvent given its excellent safety profile and lower environmental impact. The ease of setup and broad chemoselectivity make this method attractive for organic synthesis, and the results further demonstrate the utility of DPDS as a selective reducing agent.

- Identification of a novel neuropeptide s receptor antagonist scaffold based on the sha-68 core
-
Activation of the neuropeptide S receptor (NPSR) system has been shown to produce an-xiolytic-like actions, arousal, and enhance memory consolidation, whereas blockade of the NPSR has been shown to reduce relapse to substances of abuse and duration of anesthetics. We report here the discovery of a novel core scaffold (+) N-benzyl-3-(2-methylpropyl)-1-oxo-3-phenyl-1H,3H,4H,5H,6H,7H-furo[3,4-c]pyridine-5-carboxamide with potent NPSR antagonist activity in vitro. Pharmacokinetic parameters demonstrate that 14b reaches pharmacologically relevant levels in plasma and the brain following intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration, but is cleared rapidly from plasma. Compound 14b was able to block NPS (0.3 nmol)-stimulated locomotor activity in C57/Bl6 mice at 3 mg/kg (i.p.), indicating potent in vivo activity for the structural class. This suggests that 14b can serve as a useful tool for continued mapping of the pharmacological functions of the NPS receptor system.

- An Improved Stereocontrolled Access Route to Piperidine or Azepane β-Amino Esters and Azabicyclic β- and γ-Lactams; Synthesis of Novel Functionalized Azaheterocyles
-
An improved, efficient synthesis of some functionalized saturated azaheterocycles has been accomplished by controlled functionalization of various readily available cyclic compounds containing ring C=C bond. The stereocontrolled synthetic concept was based on the oxidative ring cleavage of various unsaturated scaffolds across ozonolysis followed by ring closing with double reductive amination with primary alkylamines or fluorinated alkylamines. The protocol provided versatile azaheterocyclic derivatives with a piperidine or azepane framework.

- Structure-Activity Relationship Studies on Oxazolo[3,4- a]pyrazine Derivatives Leading to the Discovery of a Novel Neuropeptide S Receptor Antagonist with Potent in Vivo Activity
-
Neuropeptide S modulates important neurobiological functions including locomotion, anxiety, and drug abuse through interaction with its G protein-coupled receptor known as neuropeptide S receptor (NPSR). NPSR antagonists are potentially useful for the treatment of substance abuse disorders against which there is an urgent need for new effective therapeutic approaches. Potent NPSR antagonists in vitro have been discovered which, however, require further optimization of their in vivo pharmacological profile. This work describes a new series of NPSR antagonists of the oxazolo[3,4-a]pyrazine class. The guanidine derivative 16 exhibited nanomolar activity in vitro and 5-fold improved potency in vivo compared to SHA-68, a reference pharmacological tool in this field. Compound 16 can be considered a new tool for research studies on the translational potential of the NPSergic system. An in-depth molecular modeling investigation was also performed to gain new insights into the observed structure-activity relationships and provide an updated model of ligand/NPSR interactions.

- Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies of novel 1,2,3-triazole-quinazolines as antiproliferative agents displaying ERK inhibitory activity
-
ERK1/2 inhibitors have attracted special attention concerning the ability of circumventing cases of innate or log-term acquired resistance to RAF and MEK kinase inhibitors. Based on the 4-aminoquinazoline pharmacophore of kinases, herein we describe the synthesis of 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives bearing a 1,2,3-triazole stable core to bridge different aromatic and heterocyclic rings using copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC) as a Click Chemistry strategy. The initial screening of twelve derivatives in tumoral cells (CAL-27, HN13, HGC-27, and BT-20) revealed that the most active in BT-20 cells (25a, IC50 24.6 μM and a SI of 3.25) contains a more polar side chain (sulfone). Furthermore, compound 25a promoted a significant release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), suggesting the induction of cell death by necrosis. In addition, this compound induced G0/G1 stalling in BT-20 cells, which was accompanied by a decrease in the S phase. Western blot analysis of the levels of p-STAT3, p-ERK, PARP, p53 and cleaved caspase-3 revealed p-ERK1/2 and p-STA3 were drastically decreased in BT-20 cells under 25a incubation, suggesting the involvement of these two kinases in the mechanisms underlying 25a-induced cell cycle arrest, besides loss of proliferation and viability of the breast cancer cell. Molecular docking simulations using the ERK-ulixertinib crystallographic complex showed compound 25a could potentially compete with ATP for binding to ERK in a slightly higher affinity than the reference ERK1/2 inhibitor. Further in silico analyses showed comparable toxicity and pharmacokinetic profiles for compound 25a in relation to ulixertinib.

- Discovery of a Novel Mycobacterial F-ATP Synthase Inhibitor and its Potency in Combination with Diarylquinolines
-
The F1FO-ATP synthase is required for growth and viability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is a validated clinical target. A mycobacterium-specific loop of the enzyme's rotary γ subunit plays a role in the coupling of ATP synthesis within the enzyme complex. We report the discovery of a novel antimycobacterial, termed GaMF1, that targets this γ subunit loop. Biochemical and NMR studies show that GaMF1 inhibits ATP synthase activity by binding to the loop. GaMF1 is bactericidal and is active against multidrug- as well as bedaquiline-resistant strains. Chemistry efforts on the scaffold revealed a dynamic structure activity relationship and delivered analogues with nanomolar potencies. Combining GaMF1 with bedaquiline or novel diarylquinoline analogues showed potentiation without inducing genotoxicity or phenotypic changes in a human embryonic stem cell reporter assay. These results suggest that GaMF1 presents an attractive lead for the discovery of a novel class of anti-tuberculosis F-ATP synthase inhibitors.

- Drug discovery of acetophenone derivatives as BRD4 inhibitors
-
Background: The bromodomain and extra-terminal proteins (BET), in particular BRD4, has recently emerged as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of many human disorders such as cancer, inflammation, obesity and cardiovascular disease, which draw more and more attention to discover potent BRD4 inhibitors in the past years. In this article, we described the discovery process of an entirely new chemotype of BRD4 inhibitors. Methods: A fragment-based drug discovery strategy was employed in attempting to find a novel chemotype of BRD4 inhibitors. Thus, the potential hits were firstly identified by docking study with KAc binding pocket and AlphaScreen assay. Then the elected hit was further structurally optimized based on the interaction revealed by the docking study and the Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR). Results: A 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethan-1-one fragment was first identified as an efficient hit to BRD4 with a weak inhibition activity and high ligand efficiency (IC50 = 8.9 μM，LE > 0.5) based on virtual screening and biochemical assay. Then, two-rounds optimization of the hit by a fragment-based drug discovery approach enabled the discovery of a potent BRD4 inhibitor 9, which exhibit nanomolar potency in biochemical assays (IC50 = 0.18 μM). Conclusion: The title compounds displayed potent inhibitory activity to BRD4, implying acetophenone core is an effective KAc residue mimic, suggesting acetophenone derivatives as a new chemotype may be promising for developing novel BRD4 inhibitors. 9.

- Frustrated Lewis Pair Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Amides: Halides as Active Lewis Base in the Metal-Free Hydrogen Activation
-
A method for the metal-free reduction of carboxylic amides using oxalyl chloride as an activating agent and hydrogen as the final reductant is introduced. The reaction proceeds via the hydrogen splitting by B(2,6-F2-C6H3)3 in combination with chloride as the Lewis base. Density functional theory calculations support the unprecedented role of halides as active Lewis base components in the frustrated Lewis pair mediated hydrogen activation. The reaction displays broad substrate scope for tertiary benzoic acid amides and α-branched carboxamides.

-
A novel protocol for extending the scope of the Mitsunobu reaction to include amine nucleophiles to form C-N bonds through the utilization of N-heterocyclic phosphine-butane (NHP-butane) has been developed. Both aliphatic alcohols and benzyl alcohols are suitable substrates for C-N bond construction. Various acidic nucleophiles such as benzoic acids, phenols, thiophenol, and secondary sulfonamide also provide the desired products of esters, ethers, thioether, and tertiary sulfonamide with 43-93% yields. Importantly, C-N bond-containing pharmaceuticals, Piribedil and Cinnarizine, have been synthesized in one step from the commercial amines under this Mitsunobu reaction system.

- Derisking the Cu-Mediated 18F-Fluorination of Heterocyclic Positron Emission Tomography Radioligands
-
Molecules labeled with fluorine-18 (18F) are used in positron emission tomography to visualize, characterize and measure biological processes in the body. Despite recent advances in the incorporation of 18F onto arenes, the development of general and efficient approaches to label radioligands necessary for drug discovery programs remains a significant task. This full account describes a derisking approach toward the radiosynthesis of heterocyclic positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands using the copper-mediated 18F-fluorination of aryl boron reagents with 18F-fluoride as a model reaction. This approach is based on a study examining how the presence of heterocycles commonly used in drug development affects the efficiency of 18F-fluorination for a representative aryl boron reagent, and on the labeling of more than 50 (hetero)aryl boronic esters. This set of data allows for the application of this derisking strategy to the successful radiosynthesis of seven structurally complex pharmaceutically relevant heterocycle-containing molecules.

This study presents the synthesis and biological evaluation of a new series of arylalkyl/arylalkylsulfonyl piperazine and piperidine-based derivatives as sigma receptor ligands. It was found that a number of halogen substituted sulfonamides display relatively high and low affinities to σ1 and σ2 receptors, respectively. The σ1 affinities and subtype selectivities of four piperidine derivatives were also found to be generally comparable to those of piperazine analogues. Compared to σ1-Rs compounds with n = 0 and 2, those with n = 1 proved to have optimal length of carbon chain by exhibiting higher affinities. Within this series, the 4-benzyl-1-(3-iodobenzylsulfonyl)piperidine sigma ligand was identified with 96-fold σ1/σ2 selectivity ratio (Kiσ1 = 0.96 ± 0.05 nM and K iσ2 = 91.8 ± 8.1 nM).

- Characterization of tunable piperidine and piperazine carbamates as inhibitors of endocannabinoid hydrolases
-
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) are two enzymes from the serine hydrolase superfamily that degrade the endocannabinoids 2-arachidonoylglycerol and, anandamide, respectively. We have recently discovered that, MAGL and, FAAH are both inhibited by carbamates bearing an N-piperidine/piperazine group. Piperidine/piperazine carbamates show excellent in vivo activity, raising brain endocannabinoid levels and producing CB1-dependent behavioral effects in mice, suggesting that they represent a promising class of inhibitors for studying the endogenous functions of MAGL and FAAH. Herein, we disclose a full account of the syntheses, structure-activity relationships, and, inhibitory activities of piperidine/piperazine carbamates against members of the serine hydrolase family. These scaffolds can be tuned for MAGL-selective or dual MAGL-FAAH inhibition by the attachment of an, appropriately substituted bisarylcarbinol or aryloxybenzyl moiety, respectively, on the piperidine/piperazine ring. Modifications to the piperidine/piperazine ring ablated inhibitory activity, suggesting a strict requirement for a six-membered ring to maintain potency.

-
Neuropeptide S (NPS) has been shown to modulate arousal, sleep wakefulness, anxiety-like behavior, and feeding after central administration of the peptide agonist to mice or rats. We report here the chemical synthesis and pharmacological characterization of SHA 66 (3-oxo-1,1-diphenyl-tetrahydro- oxazolo[3,4-a]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid benzylamide) and SHA 68 (3-oxo-1,1-diphenyl-tetrahydro-oxazolo[3,4-a]pyrazine-7-carboxylic acid 4-fluoro-benzylamide), two closely related bicyclic piperazines with antagonistic properties at the NPS receptor (NPSR). The compounds block NPS-induced Ca2+ mobilization, and SHA 68 shows displaceable binding to NPSR in the nanomolar range. The antagonistic activity of SHA 68 seems to be specific because it does not affect signaling at 14 unrelated G protein-coupled receptors. Analysis of pharmacokinetic parameters of SHA 68 demonstrates that the compound reaches pharmacologically relevant levels in plasma and brain after i.p. administration. Furthermore, peripheral administration of SHA 68 in mice (50 mg/kg i.p.) is able to antagonize NPS-induced horizontal and vertical activity as well as stereotypic behavior. Therefore, SHA 68 could be a useful tool to characterize physiological functions and pharmacological parameters of the NPS system in vitro and in vivo. Copyright

-
The preparation and activity against Plasmodium berghei of derivatives of 1 (4 methoxycinnamoyl) 4 (5 phenyl 4 oxo 2 oxazolin 2 yl)piperazine are described. Replacement of the cinnamoyl group was accomplished by acylation or alkylation of 1 (5 phenyl 4 oxo 2 oxazolin 2 yl)piperazine. Modifications of the 5 phenyl group were prepared either by a sequence of reactions involving mandelic ester pemoline piperazine pemoline or by the reaction of 5 aryl 2 thio 2,4 oxazolidinedione with piperazine or N substituted piperazines. In a similar manner, pemoline was allowed to react with N arylpiperazine, hexahydro 1H 1,4 diazepine, and 2,6 dimethylpiperazine to provide N arylpiperazine pemoline derivatives and variations in the piperazine moiety. Several compounds in which the 2 oxazolin 4 one ring was replaced with other heterocyclic rings were prepared as were several open chain analogs. Five compounds (three of them substituted in the para position of the 5 phenyl group and two N arylpiperazine pemoline derivatives) were found to be active against Plasmodium berghei. The remaining active compound possessed changes in the cinnamoyl group and substitution on the 5 phenyl group.
